Chapter 330 Three Dark-skinned Men
Chapter 330 Three Dark-skinned Men
A coffee shop on the street.
Hattori Heiji's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he watched the people coming and going in the store.
He leaned close to Shuichi Akai and Conan and whispered.
"I said, isn't it a bit too careless of us to discuss such an important matter in a roadside coffee shop?"
"Aren't you afraid that there are people from that organization around? Didn't Kudo say that organization is quite large?"
Conan shook his head, glanced at the expressions of the other guests, and said to Hattori Heiji.
"Hattori, take a look at the way those people are looking at you."
"Eye?"
Hattori Heiji carefully observed the expressions of the people around him with suspicion, and soon realized that something was wrong.
"So this is ah."
Heiji Hattori had seen the same look in these people's eyes and expressions, and the calluses on their hands, at the Osaka Police Headquarters.
But isn't this a bit too wasteful of public resources?
Wouldn't it be the same to talk in any enclosed space?
Hattori Heiji then looked at Akai Shuichi and asked.
"But Brother Akai, you're from the FBI, right?"
"Besides, are there that many Asians working for the FBI?"
Shuichi Akai shook his head.
"They're not from the FBI. It's just that we have another person coming over later... Oh, he's already here."
Seeing a white Mazda approaching in the distance, Shuichi Akai pointed towards the side of the street.
"Just call him Amuro Tooru, he's a public security officer."
Conan and Heiji Hattori looked over.
Once the white Mazda stopped on the side of the street, Amuro Tooru opened the car door and walked towards where the group was.
Conan glanced at Shuichi Akai and Heiji Hattori with a strange look, then stared at Tooru Amuro who was walking towards him.
The sun shouldn't be this strong in this country, right?
Is he the only person with fair skin?
Amuro Tooru took off his sunglasses and looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji with a puzzled expression.
"Shuichi Akai, you asked me to arrange a place to discuss the organization, but what are you doing bringing two students here... And what's wrong with your left eye?"
Noticing the white eyepatch over Shuichi Akai's left eye, Tooru Amuro asked Shuichi Akai curiously.
Shuichi Akai shook his head with a bitter expression.
"Well, after I received your information last time, I went to find that little girl. As you can see, I paid a price."
Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru tried his best to suppress the urge to pout, and covered his mouth with a soft sigh.
"That makes me so...sorry."
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have told you this news."
I thought Shuichi Akai was cautious, but what a load of crap!
It's hilarious that a left-handed sniper was blinded.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come sit down and let's chat."
Shuichi Akai was planning to announce this topic later, so he wasn't in a hurry to say it now.
He pointed to Conan and Heiji Hattori and said this to Amuro Tooru.
"These two are not ordinary students either; they are our companions."
"Moreover, this child has a closer relationship with the organization."
……
After the group introduced themselves, Amuro Tooru stared at Conan with a look of utter shock.
"Shinichi Kudo... Is this even possible? How could such a tiny pill turn someone into this?"
"And the organization actually developed this drug. I wonder what kind of uproar it will cause if they publicize it."
Conan shook his head bitterly.
"Who knows."
"However, I need to correct something. The organization probably didn't know... no, it should be that their highest-ranking members didn't know the hidden effects of this drug, since they were trying to silence me at the time."
Amuro Tooru nodded in relief, then looked at Akai Shuichi to confirm.
"So the little girl next to Qi Ming really is Sherry?"
Hideaki Akai nodded slightly.
"Yes."
That's it...
Amuro Tooru stroked his chin, and a bold idea suddenly arose in his mind.
I wonder if the organization knows that Qi Ming has actually been secretly protecting Shirley and has even kept her by his side.
If this news gets out, I wonder what measures the organization will take against Qi Ming...
The Self-Defense Forces can't get rid of Qi Ming, and the organization is unlikely to be able to deal with him either.
But if it can annoy him, and maybe even lead to a dog-eat-dog situation, it's worth it.
Having finalized his plan, Amuro Tooru looked at Hattori Heiji again.
"Heiji Hattori, I've heard of you. Your father is Heizo Hattori, right? The Osaka Metropolitan Police Department Superintendent?"
"Yes."
"Well, please take care of me."
Amuro Tooru gave Hattori Heiji a friendly nod, then turned to look at Akai Shuichi, whose expression immediately turned cold.
"So what did you gather us together to talk about?"
"And you bastard, why didn't you answer all the calls I made yesterday?"
Faced with Amuro Tooru's questioning, Akai Shuichi waved his hand apologetically.
"I'm sorry, the situation was critical, and besides, I was practically dead at that point."
Amuro Tooru's expression froze for a moment.
"died?"
When Shuichi Akai brought up the topic, Conan couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity.
"Mr. Akai, this is what I want to know most: how exactly did you escape from there?"
All eyes turned to Shuichi Akai, who took a deep breath and told the three of them what had happened the day before.
"Yesterday, after confronting Gin on the floor, I was shot in the chest and fell into the sea of fire, nearly dying. But when I opened my eyes again, I was lying in another place, perfectly healthy."
"When I woke up, I saw the person who saved me. He told me that his name was Karasuma Renya."
Hattori Heiji opened his mouth slightly, asking in disbelief:
"You mean you were shot in the chest and fell into a sea of fire, and then someone rescued you from the fire and miraculously recovered from your injuries, right?"
Upon hearing Hattori Heiji's description, Akai Shuichi also felt a sense of unease.
Putting aside some unbelievable things for the moment, Conan took a sip of black tea and rubbed his chin.
Karasuma Renya... that sounds familiar.
"Karasuma, is that Karasuma Renya from the Karasuma Group, the number one conglomerate in the country?"
Conan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard Sonoko talk about Japanese zaibatsu before.
"That's right, at least that's what that person told me."
Hideaki Akai nodded slightly.
"However, when I was searching for information, I also found that he should have passed away 40 years ago."
"But the person standing in front of me at that time was a young man."
Conan frowned.
Young people?
If that's the case, why would he impersonate that tycoon...?
Seeing that the group looked thoughtful, Shuichi Akai didn't keep them in suspense and immediately said:
"I don't know whether the person who appeared in front of me, Karasuma Renya, is the real person or an imposter, but I'm more certain that it's the real person."
"According to him, Qi Ming was originally a member of their organization, but they lost control of him and are now recruiting others to join them in fighting against Qi Ming."
